            Bug ID: 215698
           Summary: role=tree and role=treeitem are announced as "table"
                    and "listbox"
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: macOS 10.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: Carolyn_MacLeod at ca.ibm.com

Mac/VO role=tree conveys the APG tree example https://w3c.github.io/aria-practices/examples/treeview/treeview-1/treeview-1a.html as a table, with "list boxes" for treeitems. This is confusing to users.

(it also isn't announcing aria-selected treeitems).

Is it using AXTable instead of AXOutline?
(From @jcraig: IIRC, this an artifact of AppKit trees being implemented as single column tables.)
